It is a simple fact that cubic Hamiltonian graphs have at least two Hamiltonian cycles. Finding such a cycle is NP-hard in general, and no polynomial-time algorithm is known for the problem of finding a second Hamiltonian cycle when one such cycle is given as part of the input. We investigate the co

In 1975, John Sheehan conjectured that every Hamiltonian 4-regular graph has a second Hamiltonian cycle. Combined with earlier results this would imply that every Hamiltonian r-regular graph (r 3) has a second Hamiltonian cycle. We shall verify this for r 300.

## Abstract We consider the problem of the minimum number of Hamiltonian cycles that could be present in a Hamiltonian maximal planar graph on __p__ vertices. In particular, we construct a __p__‐vertex maximal planar graph containing exactly four Hamiltonian cycles for every __p__ ≥ 12. We also pro

Let f (n) be the minimum number of cycles present in a 3-connected cubic graph on n vertices. In 1986, C. A. Barefoot, L. Clark, and R. Entringer (Congr. Numer. 53, 1986) showed that f (n) is subexponential and conjectured that f (n) is superpolynomial. We verify this by showing that, for n sufficie

## Abstract Let __G__ be a graph on __p__ vertices with __q__ edges and let __r__ = __q__ − __p__ = 1. We show that __G__ has at most ${15\over 16} 2^{r}$ cycles. We also show that if __G__ is planar, then __G__ has at most 2^__r__ − 1^ = __o__(2^__r__ − 1^) cycles. The planar result is best possib

Let G=(V 1 , V 2 ; E ) be a bipartite graph with |V 1 |= |V 2 | =n 2k, where k is a positive integer. Suppose that the minimum degree of G is at least k+1. We show that if n>2k, then G contains k vertex-disjoint cycles. We also show that if n=2k, then G contains k&1 quadrilaterals and a path of orde
